The only way to really enjoy Discworld is to read in in the order it was written. Terry does NOT recap. So what you don't know, you won't know and he writes it so you should know. If you read later books, you can easily spoil earlier books. For example, Interesting Times mentions things that have happened in previous books and you'll not have a clue. Also, if you then read the earlier books referenced, you've spoiled them. So really, just edit your post, delete the chart, remove the link and be happy to read in written order.

That useless chart is a way to get many people to screw up what would otherwise be a very enjoyable series.

And one last comment on that chart... It's seriously way too large. I suggest you delete it just because it's too big. I have a 1600x1200 screen and it's even still too large. The laptop is 1280x800 and even worse. The iPad is 1204x768 and yet even worse still. So please delete it.
